While Gentoo can be installed, fixed or whatever without a install CD, it is the first thing a person looks for to install from. I guess one way to look at it is this, someone looking to install Mandriva wouldn't be looking for anything else but a Mandriva CD. It's just logical to me. Heck, even though I am on the slowest dial-up I have even seen, I still keep the latest install CD laying around just in case. I also have a old Knoppix tho. o_O Maybe things will get back on track soon. Dale :-) :-) --=20 gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
